VIDEOThe Inquisition's Here and It's Here To Stay: The Dragon Age Series

I keep Morrigan out of my party for as much as I can early on, swapping her for Leliana as soon as I get her in Lothering and not using her in Redcliffe. But even if I do have her in my party all the time and she dissaproves of everything I do I still can always get her to 100% approval with gifts. I find it hard to make my party members not like me since I shower them with gifts every chance I get. I feel like a politician.

I've been keeping Morrigan in my party mostly because of her interesting dialogue. Especially when gets into those verbal duels with Alastair =P

On another note, I just ran into the Calo Nord clone, assassin guy. I ended up letting him live, but he seemed weaselly as hell and afterwards I regretted it and felt that it would come back to bite me. I loaded up an old save, but I didn't feel like going through and rearranging my inventory all over again so I just decided to play on.

Who Zevran? Nah, he's harmless. So long as you give him some gifts he won't betray you.

I picked up Awakening. Burned through Amaranthine and the intro pretty quickly. I think Anders is awesome (mainly because I'm a mage elf warden and we tend to agree on most everything). After gifting Nathaniel to pretty much loving my character I like his development too. Going to play through it again after work tomorrow. So far so good.

Oh. And Nathaniel's bear. Holy. crap. love. it. Glad I chose him to be a hunter.

The only problem I had with the DLC was that even if you don't have you see still the quest markers above the characters. I always do everything and it was annoying seeing that I haven't done something only to find that I don't have the DLC. It's why I ended up getting the Ultimate Edition. I wasn't going to spend nearly Â£30 on DLC and Awakenings when I could get it all for Â£15 or so.

Are you talking about the straight-to-DVD anime being made by the guys that did the two rather naff Dead Space tie-ins? I don't have my hopes up for it, but maybe with the more fleshed out and interesting lore of a Bioware game it might fare better than the Dead Space films.

I may even give next year's Mass Effect tie in a shot too if this one is good.

The DA animated movie sounds mildly interesting...except it's centered around the Chantry goon-turned-completely ineffective IA agent with the annoying quasi-French accent from the framing story of DA2. I can't stand her.

Then again, I have a glaring problem with 80% of DA2's characters, so meh.

Has anyone else played the Legacy DLC? Just finished it and I thought it was quite good - more like Lair of the Shadow Broker in terms of complexity, banter and plot development than, say, Return to Ostagar. Seemed like they put quite a lot of work into it.

Just finished it. Took about 2.5 hours but it seemed worthwhile. There's a lot of choice dependent content in there, like taking Warden Bethany and Anders. Makes me wonder how it'd play out without those two. And the ending was pretty special. I always love the little tear jerkers.

Question though: what point in the game did you access it from? I just loaded my previously completed campaign towards the end of the game, so Hawke's mum was dead, and had a very specific ending that addressed that. Can you play Legacy before that point?
